Zavvi to start selling previously released game steelbooks

[SwiftDeath]

So I have it on pretty good authority that what Zavvi is doing with Dark Souls is not a one time event but something Zavvi intends to release every once in a while.

Not sure on the frequency of releases but basically Zavvi will be releasing new steelbooks for previously released games.

Exact details haven't been revealed but I imagine they will focus some of their effort on older games that didn't have a steelbook release. My opinion of course

So what are your thoughts about this?

Do you like the idea of even more VG steels?

I do but I'm rather mad when it comes to VG steels

[rapister]

well this is good news if they make them nice!

[vhal_x]

I have heard this too, I kinda hope it's true, although I certainly hope that they make the releases limited to one per month at most, as their current "minimum 4 per month" movie steelbook releases are almost crippling me >.< xx

Yes Zavvi certainly seems to be releasing the most steelbooks from what I can tell

Really touting themselves as the home of steelbooks too lol

I hope they keep it to 1 a month as well but we'll see

VG steels have become so much more common now

Now if they'd just be more common over here in the states!

Hmm steelbooks are picking up in the states but not very much

There has been consistent blu ray steel releases in the US for awhile I think but VG steelbook releases are less common for sure

Germany and Canada have the biggest interest in steels probably due to having steelbook factories in those countires for the longest amount of time

I think germany had the first steelbook factory

I would love if the US starting getting more steelbooks like the ni no kuni steel

Zavvi ship to the states. You guys get different steelbooks from Zavvi compared to what we get though. International customers get the much more common "concave style" steelbooks.

Grrrrr

*Off to order more copies of the dark souls steel

I think 20 or so should net me a single mint copy right?

They better not screw it up

I told you once already I'm pretty boring and am just fine with the regular flat steelbooks. Don't really care for the "concave style". They don't have to take the extra effort to send us these.

What are these 'concave style' steelbooks you guys are talking about? I have steelbooks from all over the world for both VG & Blurays and haven't seen any noticeable difference between them.

As for Zavvi selling steelbooks for older stuff, I think it's a great idea. I've bought a few steelbook versions of movies lately but they were for either movies I really loved or I didn't have a copy of it in the first place. I'm not going to go nuts and order every single movie or game that has a steelbook...

...well, games maybe if they're cheap enough.
